Help Power for Parkinson’s

Ride the Waves (fun wavy logo)

June 21 - July 21

During Ride the Waves we raise funds to help cover the cost of our weekly in-person and online classes, support groups, and social activities throughout the summer months. While many support services take the summer off, Parkinson’s doesn’t. That’s why PFP leans into summer as a time for celebration: to keep our community engaged, inspired, and exercising consistently.  Your support during this time means the world to us, and we have great news!

Joe Defilippi and the Buena Vista Foundation have pledged to match all donations given during Ride the Waves up to $25,000, meaning that your gift will have twice the impact! Click here give, or scroll down for more ways to get involved.
